Already negitive stupid comments Good luck to the circus and hope everybody has a good time

Maybe you would like all the posters stuck up near you, then left to make the area unsightly where do you live and i will send all the people round that post these up in empty shops, phone boxes, telegraph poles and anywhere they like.
Most businesses pay good money to advertise through correct channels, why do circuses and stunt shows feel they deserve freebies and deface to the towns they are appearing in ?

Absolutely love the circus and what it stands for. Bare roots entertainment at its best. Not exactly cheap these days, though, and the circus will never have the atmosphere it once did. I've seen them all come and go (or shrink) over the years, Billy Smarts, Robert Brothers, Gerry Cottles, Chipperfields... Is it me or are the "big tops" not so big any more. In those days you had a group of clowns, not just one, and a whole troupe of 6 or 8 acrobats and trapeze artistes, not just singles or pairs. Oh, and there was always you obligatory "little" person.
Still, even though this article is a blatent advert, I will forgive the Echo this time because any tradition like the circus should be supported.

Different acts, maybe?
Foe example, it is no different to the days of variety theatre when people used to go every week, sometimes more often.
Another example, just because you watched TV today, does it mean you will not want to watch tomorrow.

Now listen for I have something to say wrote:
Whats a circus without animals ?

The only sort of circus I'd want to support is without animals! After reading horror stories about the awful lives lots of circus animals are subjected to, including the Echo article/seeing the photos of the elephants being badly beaten while they were at Rochford a few years ago I will never again part with money for circus tickets if there are animals involved.
